Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, 8.65mm, Emerald Green Dial

Piaget, renowned for its luxury timepieces and high-end jewelry, introduces the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, a remarkable addition to its Polo collection. Despite being a sports watch lineup, the Polo series maintains an elegant and refined appearance. This latest model marks Polo receives a mechanical perpetual calendar movement.

The 42mm stainless steel case of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin adheres to the modern Polo aesthetic, measuring a slender 8.65mm in thickness. The bezel features horizontal linear brushing, complemented by brushed and polished surfaces throughout the rest of the case. Flat sapphire crystals protect the dial and screw-on display caseback. The watch provides water resistance up to 30 meters, suitable for daily contact.

The timepiece debuts Piaget's new SingleTouch interchangeable strap and bracelet system, allowing easy switching between the stainless steel bracelet and the included rubber strap with a deployant-style folding clasp. The H-link design of the bracelet includes subtle gadroons on the center links, reminiscent of the original 1979 Piaget Polo model. This detail adds refinement while retaining the contemporary Polo collection's core lines.

The dial of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin features a dark emerald green color with a horizontal groove pattern. Super-LumiNova fills the tapered baton-style hour markers. The hours and minutes are displayed by centrally mounted hands, surrounded by three sub-dials for various calendar functions and a moonphase display at 6 o'clock. The date, day of the week, month, and leap year indicators are indicated by hands and sub-dials, creating a visually balanced dial.

Powering the watch is the Caliber 1255P automatic movement, a micro-rotor design measuring a mere 4mm in thickness. Operating at 21,600vph (3 Hz) and providing a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, the Caliber 1255P builds upon the ultra-thin Caliber 1200P by incorporating a perpetual calendar and moonphase mechanism. The movement showcases meticulous finishing through the sapphire caseback, including perlage, Geneva stripes, blued screws, and a signed blue finished micro-rotor.
